In interpreting the scope of this provision, the courts of the Federal judiciary have taken the view that defence counsel must be appointed when the suspect is first detained.326. In this connection, the Federal judiciary has pointed out in a number of judgements that a necessary consequence of the obligation incumbent on the authorities is that, while the authorities are bound to appoint counsel for a suspect as soon as he is at their disposal, he himself also has an obligation to insist that his right should be respected.
Con relación al mismo tópico, el poder judicial de la federación en diversas ejecutorias ha destacado una consecuencia necesaria de la obligación a cargo de la autoridad, pues si bien ésta se encuentra constreñida a nombrar defensor al indiciado desde el momento mismo que lo tiene a su disposición, es al propio inculpado a quien corresponde exigir la observancia a su derecho.
